    METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USING WIRELESS LABELS WITH WELL BACKGROUND EQUIPMENT
    BACKGROUND [001] Modern oilfield operations require a great deal of information about the parameters and conditions found at the bottom of the well. Such information typically includes information about the weld hole environment such as temperature, pressure, etc., and operational information from the drill string (for example stresses encountered by the drill string components).
    [002] Various methods are used to acquire rock bottom information. For example, measuring instruments can be inserted into the borehole by metal cable after extraction of the drill string. Alternatively, the drill string may include measurement tools that transmit downhole information to a surface installation via means incorporated in the drill string or modulation of the drilling fluid pressure.

    [0026] The acquisition of borehole information can entail significant expenses related to, for example, incorporating measurement tools and telemetry systems in the drilling column. Embodiments of the present invention include downhole tags affixed to components of the drill string or other wellhole tubulars to provide an effective and less costly means of measuring downhole parameters. Downhole tags measure and record downhole information and / or operational information associated with a component that incorporates the label. A tag interrogation device can be passed through the interior of the drill string to extract information recorded by downhole tags and transfer the extracted information to a surface installation for analysis. Various embodiments of the downhole label can. store measurements as a function of time
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 10/43 / 32 and / or frequency of occurrence.
    [0027] Figure 1 shows a perforation system including downhole labels 26, according to various embodiments. A drilling rig 2 supports a tower 4 having a movable block 6 for raising and lowering a drilling column 8. A kelly bar 10 supports the drilling column 8 as it is lowered through a turntable 12. A drill bit drilling 14 is driven by a downhole motor and / or rotation of the drilling column 8. As the drill 14 rotates, it creates a borehole 16 that passes through various subsurface formations. A pump 20 circulates drilling fluid through a feed tube 22 to the kelly bar 10, down through the interior of the drill column 8, through holes in the drill bit 14, back to the surface via the annular region around the drilling column 8, and to a reservoir of drilling fluid 24, such as a mud tank or holding well. The drilling fluid transports waste from the borehole into the reservoir 24 and assists in maintaining the integrity of the borehole.
    [0028] Drill column 8 consists of several components, including a drill pipe 18 and bottom hole assembly components (e.g. drill bit 14, mud motor, drill collar, tools, etc.). ) In embodiments of the present invention, some drill column components, for example, drill pipe 18, include a downhole label 26 that measures and records borehole environmental parameters and / or component operating parameters drilling column.
    [0029] Figure 2 shows a downhole drilling system 26, including downhole labels and a downhole label interrogation device 28, according to various embodiments. In some embodiments, the security tag interrogation device
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 11/43 / 32 downhole (ie, the label reader) 28 is inserted inside the drill string 8. A cable 42, which can include power and / or data conductors to supply power to the reader tag 28 and telemetry between tag reader 28 and a surface installation 44, allows tag reader 28 to be lowered through perforation column 8 and returned to the surface. As the tag reader 28 moves to a predetermined proximity to tag 26 (for example, within the wireless range), tag reader 28 detects the presence of tag 26, establishes a wireless communication session with tag 26, and retrieves information collected and stored by tag 26. Retrieved information may include temperature, pressure, acceleration and / or other environmental information from the well bore.
    [0030] In some embodiments, the label reader 28 internally stores information extracted from the label 26, and the information is provided to the surface installation44, after the label reader 28 is removed from the perforation column 8. In some forms of In this embodiment, the label reader transmits information retrieved from the labels 26 to the installation of the surface 44 via a cable 42.
    [0031] Some embodiments of a drilling system include a tag reader 28 located on the drilling platform 2 to retrieve information collected by tag 26 as the drill column 8 is moved into or out of the borehole 16. In some embodiments, the label reader 28 is a portable device.
    [0032] In some embodiments, the surface installation 44 is local to the drilling rig 2, as shown in Figure 2. In other embodiments, the surface installation 44 can be a server or other computing device located remotely from the drilling platform 2. In such embodiments, the information
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 12/43 / 32 retrieved from a downhole tag 26 can be transferred to surface installation 44 via a network (e.g., the Internet, a private wide area network, etc.) for storage and analysis.
    [0033] Figure 3 shows a cross section of the drill pipe 18, including a downhole tag 26 communicating with a downhole tag interrogation device 28 according to various embodiments. In some embodiments, the downhole label 26 is mounted on an outer surface of a drill string component to provide the label 26 with access to the well hole environment. As shown in Figure 3, the tag 26 is mounted on an outer surface of the drill tube 18. The drill tube 18 includes a cavity 32 arranged to receive the tag 26. The tag 26 can be attached to the drill tube 18 by a pressure snap ring disposed in a groove in the cavity 32, epoxy or other adhesive connecting the tag 26 to the drill pipe 18, or other retaining means.
    [0034] As the label reader 28 travels inside the drill pipe 18, the label reader comes within the communication distance of the label 26. The label 26 and the label reader communicate wirelessly through the wall of the drill pipe 18. Wireless communication through the metal wall of the drill pipe 18 is achieved by including long wavelength inductive transceivers on tag 26 and tag reader 28. The magnetic waves produced by the transceivers propagate through of the metal wall of the drill pipe 18. As tag reader 28 comes into communication proximity of tag 26, tag 26 and tag reader 28 detect wireless transmissions with each other, establish a bidirectional wireless communication session and transfer information stored in tag 26 to tag reader 28. Tag reader 28 transmits the transferred information for surface installation 44, for example via the
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 13/43 / 32 cable 42.
    [0035] Figure 4 shows a block diagram of a downhole label 26, according to various embodiments. An embodiment of tag 26 includes an antenna 420, a transceiver 418, a processor 402, a program / data store 404, a power source (for example, a 422 battery), and at least some 406 sensors. explained above, transceiver 418 operates in the long wavelength band (<500 kHz) to communicate wirelessly with tag reader 28. In some embodiments, transceiver 418 is configured to operate according to the Rubee standard, IEEE 1902.1 for wireless communication. The antenna 420 converts signals provided to or from the transceiver, 418 between conducted and airborne waves.
    [0036] Processor 402 is configured to execute instructions read from a computer-readable medium, and can, for example, be a general purpose processor, digital signal processor, microcontroller, etc. Processor architectures often include execution units (eg, fixed point, floating point, integer, etc.), storage (eg, registers, memory, etc.), instruction decoding, peripherals (eg, interrupt controllers , timers, direct memory access controllers, etc.), input / output systems (for example, serial ports, parallel ports, etc.) and various other components and subsystems.
    [0037] The 404 program / data store is a computer-readable medium attached and accessible to the 402 processor. The 404 store may include volatile and / or non-volatile semiconductor memory (eg FLASH memory, static random access memory or dynamics, etc.), or other appropriate storage media known now or later developed. Various programs executable by the 402 processor and data structures and manipulable by the 402 processor
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 14/43 / 32 can be stored in storage 404.
    [0038] Transducers of various types can be included in sensors 406. A temperature transducer 410, pressure transducer 412, and / or acceleration transducer 408 can be provided. The temperature and pressure transducers 410, 412 can be arranged to measure the temperature and pressure of the borehole. The acceleration transducer 408 can be arranged to detect acceleration of the drill string component to which the tag 26 is attached. In some embodiments, the acceleration transducer 408 comprises a multi-axis accelerometer or a plurality of accelerometers arranged to detect different directions of acceleration of the tag 26.
    [0039] Signals produced by sensors 406 are digitized and supplied to processor 402. Processor 406 analyzes the signals according to a sensor processing schedule 414 provided from storage 404. For example, a sensor processing embodiment 414 configures processor 402 to periodically store samples supplied from each sensor 406 in a measurement storage 416.
    [0040] Communication schedule 424 configures processor 402 to execute the protocols required to communicate with the tag reader 28. Communication schedule 416 can also cause processor 402 to provide stored transducer measurements 416 to the reader of labels 28.
    [0041] Some embodiments of the downhole label 26 may include a supply system that omits the battery 422. Such embodiments may also omit the sensors 406 and the associated processing logic 414. The embodiments that do not battery 422 can be powered by energy extracted from the magnetic waves generated by the tag reader 28 and detected by the antenna 420.
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 15/43 / 32
    Information (e.g., tag 26 identification information), can be stored in the program / data store 404 for transmission by tag 26, when the tag communicates with tag reader 28.
    [0042] Figure 5 shows a block diagram of a downhole label interrogation device (label reader) 28, according to various embodiments. An embodiment of the tag reader 28 includes an antenna 516, a transceiver 510, a processor 502, program / data store 504, and a power supply system 514. As explained above, transceiver 510 operates in the length range of long wave (<500 kHz) to communicate wirelessly with the downhole tag 26. Antenna 516 converts signals provided to or from transceiver 510 between conducted and airborne waves. Some embodiments of the tag reader 28 also include a metal / wireless dog transceiver 512 (for example, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, IEEE 802.1 1, Bluetooth, etc.) [0043] Processor 502 is configured to execute instructions read from from a computer-readable medium, and can, for example, be a general purpose processor, a digital signal processor, a microcontroller, etc. Processor architectures generally include execution units (for example, fixed point, floating point, integer, etc.), storage (for example, registers, memory, etc.), instruction decoding, peripherals (for example, interrupt controllers , timers, direct memory access controllers, etc.), input / output systems (for example, serial ports, parallel ports, etc.) and various other components and subsystems.
    [0044] The data store / program 504 is a computer-readable medium attached and accessible to the 502 processor. The store 504 may include volatile and / or non-volatile semiconductor memory (for example, FLASH memory, static random access memory or dynamics, etc.), or
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 16/43 / 32 other suitable storage media currently known or further developed. Various programs executable by processor 502, and data structures manipulable by processor 502 can be stored in store 504.
    [0045] Communication software programming 506 stored in storage 504 configures processor 502 to execute the required protocols to detect the presence of the downhole tag 26, establish a communication session with detected tag 26, and retrieve wirelessly information, including sensor measurements 416 from tag 26. In some embodiments, processor 502 can also be configured to set the downhole tag 26 to an initial state after sensor measurements 416 have been retrieved by configuring thus label 26 to acquire additional measurements.
    [0046] Sensor measurements 416 and other information (for example, identification information) retrieved from the downhole label can be stored in the 504 store as 508 measurements. In some embodiments, the communication software programming 506 configures processor 502 to transmit measurements 508 and other information for the installation of surface 44 via metal cable transceiver 512 and cable 42. In some embodiments, measurements of 508 include measurements 416 retrieved from all downhole labels 26 detected in the drilling column 8. In some embodiments, the communication software programming 506 can configure the processor 502 to transfer the measurements 508 to the surface installation 44 via the wireless transceiver 510 and / or the wireless transceiver 512, after the tag reader 28 has been extracted from the perforation column 8. Various embodiments of reader 28 can be configured for operation inside the drill string, as shown in Figure
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 17/43 / 32
    3. Other embodiments can be configured for portable operation and / or for disposition on the drilling platform 2 to read retrieved tag information as the drilling column 8 moves into or out of the borehole 16 An embodiment configured for portable operation may include a display device (for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic LED display, etc.) and / or an input device (for example, a keyboard , a pointing device, etc.).
    [0047] The power supply system 514 may include converters that convert the voltages supplied to the label reader 28 via cable power conductors 42 to the voltages required to energize the components of the label reader 28. In some embodiments , the power supply system 514 comprises a battery and converters that convert the voltages supplied by the battery to the voltages needed to power the components of the label reader 28. [0048] Figure 6 shows the well-bottom label packaging, according to various embodiments. As shown, some embodiments of the downhole label packaging include an alignment element (key or guidance key) 60. Alignment element 60 guides the placement of the label 60 on a downhole component, thus check the orientation of the acceleration transducers 408 included in the respective label 26 for the downhole component. For example, alignment element 60 can position tag 26 over a drill string component in such a way that a first accelerometer is oriented to measure axial acceleration (that is, along the length of the component), and a second accelerometer is oriented to measure radial acceleration (ie lateral or rotational). The measurement of axial acceleration can be indicative of axial vibration and / or movement of the drilling column 8 in or out of the
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 18/43 / 32 drilling and acceleration and radial measurement can be indicative of rotation of the drilling column 8. In some embodiments, measurements derived from the 408 acceleration transducers are used to record use or operation of a bottom component of well. Although the exemplary downhole packaging of Figure 6 is shown as disk-shaped, embodiments of the downhole label packaging can use any of a variety of shapes.
    [0049] Figure 7 shows a well bottom label packaging 700 according to various embodiments. Housing 700 includes base 708, inner cover 704 and outer cover 702. Housing 700 can be formed from Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or other thermoplastics or materials suitable for use in a downhole environment. The base 708 includes a cavity 710 arranged to contain antenna 706 (an embodiment of antenna 420) and electronic components (e.g., transceiver 418, processor 402, storage 404, etc.). The inner cap 704 fits into the cavity 710 so that the upper surface 712 of the inner cap 704 and the surface 716 of the base 708 are coplanar (i.e., substantially coplanar). The ridges 714 of the inner cover 704 are aligned with the ridges 718 of the base 708, to form a circular protrusion. In some embodiments, the inner cap 704 is connected to the base 708 by friction welding along the bottom surfaces 722 and / or side 720 of the inner cap 704. In some embodiments, other connection methods are employed (for example, example, stickers).
    [0050] The outer cover 702 is connected to the inner cover 704 and the base 708. The rim 726 of the outer cover 702 is configured to be inserted in and connected to the bottom and / or side walls of the slot 724 of the base 708. The cover outer 702 is further configured to allow the upper inner surface of the cap 702 to contact and connect to the circular projection formed from the ridges 714, 718 of the inner cap 704 and the base 708.
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 19/43 / 32
    Friction welding (for example, rotation welding) can be used to join the outer cover 702 to the base 708 and the inner cover 704. Thus, the antenna 706 and the electronic components are sealed via the connected base 708, inner cover 704, and outer cover 702.
    [0051] In some embodiments, the 706 antenna and electronic circuitry (for example, a printed circuit board including components 402, 418, 404, etc.) are installed in a cavity on the underside of the inner cover 704 , and the cavity is filled with a sealing compound (an encapsulating resin, for example, epoxy, polyurethane, silicone, etc.) which, when cured, seals and protects the circuitry. Thereafter, the inner cover 704 (including the sealed components) is connected to the cavity 710 of the base 708. The outer cover 702 is then connected to the base 702 and the inner cover 704.
    [0052] In some embodiments, the assembled packaging 700 is enclosed in a sealed metallic enclosure (for example, stainless steel), to prevent migration of water or other fluids into the packaging 700.
    [0053] Figure 8 shows a representation of sensor measurements 802, 804 registered by a downhole tag 26, according to various embodiments. The program / data store 404 can be limited in some embodiments of the downhole label 26, thereby restricting the storage available for measurements 416. In some embodiments, sensor processing logic 414 can store a summary of sensor measurements to reduce measurement storage requirements. Measurement summaries can take the form of histograms. The histograms provide a frequency distribution of the acceleration to which the tag 26 is subjected.
    [0054] In Figure 8, acceleration measurements 804 derived from axial accelerometers 408 and 802 acceleration measurements derived from
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 20/43 / 32 radial accelerometers 408 are illustrated. A series of acceleration ranges is defined, and threshold values are set corresponding to the defined ranges. For example, 12.5 g and 17.5 g of threshold values can delimit the 15 g radial / axial acceleration range shown in Figure 8. An axial acceleration value that falls between the 12.5 g and 17 threshold values, 5 g can cause an increase in the stored value of 416 measurements indicative of the number of 15 g axial accelerations detected. Limit values can also be set for each defined acceleration range. Such summaries reduce storage requirements by providing substantial information on the label environment. Embodiments of the 26 tag can provide stored measurement summaries corresponding to any of the 406 sensors.
    [0055] Some embodiments of the downhole label 26 use acceleration measurements to check and record time of use / operation of a drill string component 8. For example, the drill pipe 18 includes the downhole label 26 comprising 408 multi-axis acceleration sensors. The label 26 may include a time-keeping device (i.e., a clock), a measurement store. acceleration (for example, 802, 804 acceleration summaries), and stored indications of the duration of use of the drill pipe 18 (for example, time of use indicators, such as start and end times). When the drill pipe 18 is transferred to a user, time of use indicators on tag 26, acceleration summaries, etc., can be repositioned using a device configured to wirelessly communicate with and initialize tag 26 (for example, a device similar to the tag reader 28). Thereafter, tag 26 can periodically compare the acceleration measurements provided by the acceleration sensors 408 to use thresholds (for example, an axial use threshold and a radial use threshold) to determine whether the drill pipe 18 has been put in and /or is
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 21/43 / 32 continuing service.
    [0056] When the drill pipe 18 is installed in the drill column 8, and an acceleration measurement exceeds a usage threshold, tag 26 can define a stored start-up time (for example, set a run time indicator start of use for the current clock time), indicating that drill pipe 18 is in use. Thereafter, tag 16 can periodically (for example, every 60 seconds) compare the acceleration measurements to the thresholds of continued use. If the thresholds for continued use are exceeded, the end-use time indicator will be updated to the current clock time. Thus, the duration of use of the drill pipe 18 can be recorded on the label 26.
    [0057] As the drill pipe 18 is being used, tag 26 can also record acceleration measurements. Recorded acceleration measurements can take the form of summaries, as described above in relation to Figure 8, and / or acceleration over time. Time-of-use acceleration data can be extracted from drill pipe 18 and used to analyze cumulative damage to drill pipe 18, or to improve future designs.
    [0058] Figure 9A shows an adapter 904 for affixing a 912 tag to a well hole tubular 902, according to various embodiments. The tag 912 can be, for example, a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag as known in the art, the downhole tag 26, or another identification / tracking device. The 904 adapter is configured to hold the 912 tag and protect the 912 tag from damage. The underside 906 of the adapter 904 is configured to attach to an outer surface of the borehole tubular 902. The tubular 902 can be, for example, a well casing. The underside 906 of adapter 904 can have substantially the same radius of curvature as tubular 902 on which adapter 904 should
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 22/43 / 32 be installed.
    [0059] The upper side 908 of adapter 904 has a smaller radius of curvature than the lower side 906 causing the upper side 908 of label 904 to extend outward from the lower side 908. A depression or pouch 910 is arranged on the upper side 908 of adapter 904. Label 912 is positioned on bag 910 and affixed to adapter 904. Thus, if the tubular 902 is rolled, or impacts another object, adapter 904 will absorb the impact load and protect tag 912. Figure 9B shows a close up view of adapter 904.
    [0060] Figure 10 shows a flow chart for a method for retrieving information from a downhole label 26, according to various embodiments. Although represented sequentially for convenience, at least some of the actions shown can be performed in a different order and / or performed in parallel. Additionally, some embodiments may perform only a few of the actions shown. In some embodiments, the operations in Figure 10, as well as other operations described here, can be implemented as instructions stored in a computer-readable medium (for example, storage 404, 504) and executed by one or more processors (for example , processor 402, 502).
    [0061] In block 1002, drill column 8 is present in a bore hole 16. At least some components of drill column 8 include a downhole label 26 affixed to an outer surface of the component. As the drilling column 8 operates in the borehole 16, tag 26 acquires information indicative of downhole conditions (for example, environmental information from the borehole 16 and operational information of the drilling column 8) and stores the information acquired on label 26.
    [0062] In block 1004, in at least some embodiments,
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 23/43 / 32 the drill string 8 remains in the borehole 16, and the tag reader 28 is lowered into the drill string 8. Tag 26 and tag reader 28 include inductive wavelength transceivers long that allow the tag 26 and the tag reader 28 to communicate, through the wall of the drill string component to which the tag 26 is attached. The label reader 28 is connected to a surface installation 44 by a cable 42, which the surface installation 44 uses to control the path of the label reader 28 through the perforation column 8. In some embodiments, the installation of surface44 supplies power to the label reader 28 via power conductors included in cable 42.
    [0063] In other embodiments, the label reader 28 is portable and moved manually on a communication strip of the label 26 outside the borehole 16. In yet another embodiment, the label reader 28 is arranged on the drilling platform 2 and the tags 26 move in the communication strip of the reader 28 as the drilling column 8 moves in or out of the borehole 16.
    [0064] In block 1006, as tag reader 28 moves through the interior of perforation column 8, tag reader 1006 detects tag 26. Detection may include identifying the presence of a tag transmission | 26 as the label reader 28 moves into the communication strip of the label 26.
    [0065] In block 1008, tag reader 28 establishes communication with tag 26. In some embodiments, establishing communication includes exchanging address and / or protocol information used to direct and transfer information between tag 26 and the label reader 28.
    [0066] In block 1010, tag reader 28 retrieves information indicating downhole conditions stored in tag 26. A
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. The information may include, for example, a record of temperature and / or pressure from the borehole and / or stresses experienced by the drill column component to which the tag 26 is attached. As mentioned above, tag 26 and tag reader 28 use long wavelength inductive transmission to communicate through the drill column wall 8.
    [0067] In block 1012, the tag reader 28, provides the retrieved information for a surface installation 44 for analysis. In some embodiments, the label reader 28 transmits the information to the surface installation 44 via data conductors included in the cable 42. In some embodiments, the information is stored in the label reader 28 and retrieved by the surface installation44 , after the label reader 26 is extracted from the tool column 8.
    [0068] In block 1014, tag reader 28 retrieved the information stored in tag 26 and sends a message to the tag, which causes the tag to initialize (for example, preparing to acquire and store additional information). Initialization may include erasure memory used to store information indicating downhole information, and / or reset pointers or indexes that indicate where the newly acquired information should be stored and / or set the clock on label 26, etc.
    [0069] Figure 11 shows a flow diagram of a method for storing information on a label in the well, according to various embodiments. Although represented sequentially for convenience, at least some of the actions shown can be performed in a different order and / or performed in parallel. Additionally, some embodiments may perform only a few of the actions shown. In some embodiments, the operations in Figure 11, as well as other operations described here, can be
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 25/43 / 32 implemented as instructions stored in a computer-readable medium (for example, the 404 store) and executed by one or more processors (for example, the 402 processor).
    [0070] In block 1102, a downhole tag 26 is affixed to a component of a drill string 8 and is acquiring downhole data via sensors 406. More specifically, tag 26 is acquiring acceleration data from from 408 acceleration transducer (s). The 408 acceleration transducers can be configured to measure acceleration along multiple axes of the drill column component. For example, the accelerometers 408 can measure the axial and radial acceleration of the drill string component to which the label 26 is attached. Although the following operations are aimed at acquiring and storing acceleration information, those skilled in the art will understand that tag 26 may include other transducers (for example, temperature 410, pressure 412, etc.) and at least some of the described operations are also applicable to acquire and store information from other transducers included in tag 26.
    [0071] In block 1104, tag 26 determines the degree and direction of acceleration detected by accelerometers 408. Some embodiments of tag 26 classify and store acceleration data according to the determined degree and direction of the detected acceleration.
    [0072] In block 1106, the tag compares the acceleration data with predetermined thresholds. The thresholds can correspond to degrees of acceleration considered to indicate that the drill column component has been put into use and / or in several predetermined acceleration ranges selected for use in summarizing the acceleration measurements. Different thresholds can be set for acceleration in different directions.
    [0073] In block 1108, label 26 determines whether the
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 26/43 / 32 perforation column to which the label 26 is attached is already in use. Such a determination can be made by testing a signal or value stored on tag 26, which is defined based on the determination that an acceleration measurement compared to a usage threshold indicates that the component has transitioned from disuse to use.
    [0074] If the drill column component is not yet in use, then, at block 1110, tag 26 determines whether the detected acceleration exceeds the predetermined start of use threshold. If the detected acceleration exceeds the start threshold, then tag 26 adjusts the start-up time stored in block 1112. In some embodiments, adjusting the start-up time includes adjusting a start-time memory location. label 26 for a current time maintained by a clock on label 26. Setting the start time indicates that the drill string component has been put into use.
    [0075] If the drill string component is in use, then, in block 1114, tag 26 determines in which of a plurality of predetermined ranges or ranges of accelerations, the detected acceleration falls. The interval determination can be based on the comparison of block threshold 1106, in which threshold values define the intervals (for example, a pair of threshold values defines each interval).
    [0076] In block 1116, a value stored in tag 26 indicating a number of detected accelerations corresponding to the acceleration range (that is, the interval) of the detected acceleration is updated (for example, incremented). In some embodiments, a stored end-use time value is also updated. For example, the end time memory value can be adjusted according to a clock maintained on tag 26. The end time value can be updated based on the detected acceleration exceeding a predetermined continuous use threshold value. The threshold value for continued use may be less than or equal to the threshold value
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 27/43 / 32 used to determine if the component has been transitioned from disuse to use. [0077] In block 1118, tag 26 transmits acquired acceleration and / or usage information and / or another sensor to a tag reader 28. In some embodiments, the tag reader can pass through the interior of the drill string to wirelessly collect information from tag 26. In other embodiments, reader 28 can be arranged on the drilling platform 2 to wirelessly retrieve information from tag 26 as the drill column 8 is removed from the hole poll 8.
    [0078] In block 1120, label 26 is initialized by reader 28 after label 26 has transferred sensor measurements, usage information, etc., to reader 28. Initialization prepares label 26 to collect additional information.
    [0079] Figure 12 shows a system for acquiring information related to a downhole asset, according to various embodiments. The system includes a downhole asset (for example, drill pipe 18), a portable tag reader 28, and one or more measuring instruments 1212. As explained above, tag reader 28 is configured to recover without yarn information stored on tag 26, which may include information related to the use of the drill pipe 18, such as usage time, rotation time, number of revolutions, accelerations, and stresses encountered by the drill pipe 18.
    [0080] A variety of other 1212 instruments can also be used to collect information related to the physical condition of the drill pipe 18. In some embodiments, such instruments include a wireless transceiver (for example, an IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth transceiver , etc.) to wirelessly transmit measurements or other physical condition information from the drill pipe to the reader 28 or other local collection device 2 on the platform (for example, a network access point).
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 28/43 / 32 [0081] Instruments 1212 may include an inside diameter gauge 1202, a thread taper gauge 1204, a thread depth gauge 1206, a thread stretch gauge 1208, and / or a 1210 gauge to measure the internal and / or external diameter of the asset. As explained above, some embodiments of the 1212 instruments wirelessly transmit measurements (for example, when an operator determines that the measurement is complete) to the reader 28 and / or another destination, thereby improving the speed and accuracy of measurement acquisition.
    [0082] Embodiments the tag reader 28 includes a wireless transceiver 512 (e.g., an IEEE 802.1 1, Bluetooth transceiver, etc.) configured to receive measurement information transmitted by the 1212 instruments. The tag reader 28 can use transceiver 512 (or another transceiver included in reader 28) for transmitting asset health information received from instruments 1212 and tag information retrieved from tag 26 to a local and / or remote data storage system , for example, a network access point. In some embodiments, the label reader 28 stores the physical measurement information of the drill pipe 18 in the storage 504 and transmits the information based on the instruction of the operator, or automatically (without instruction from the operator).
    [0083] Figure 13 shows a block diagram of a 1300 system for processing information related to a downhole asset, according to various embodiments. The system includes a tag reader 28, a network 1306, a drilling rig interface 1302, a remote data center 1304, and databases on the drilling and remote rig 1312, 1314. The tag reader 28 can be, for example, portable, arranged on the drilling platform 2, or inside the drilling column 8. Information related to a downhole asset (ie, a drilling column component), such as the drill pipe
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 29/43 / 32 perforation 18, is stored in the tag reader 28. The information may include the use of the drill column component and / or drillhole information retrieved from a tag 26, and / or physical information from the drill column component supplied from 1212 instruments.
    [0084] Tag reader 28 can transmit information via network 1306. Network 1306 can comprise any available computer network connection arrangement, for example, any or a combination of a local area network (LAN), an extended area network (WAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), the Internet, etc., or it can comprise a private network. In addition, network 120 can comprise any of a variety of networking technologies, for example, wired, wireless, or optical techniques can be employed. Therefore, the components of the 1300 system are not restricted to any particular location or proximity to the tag reader 28.
    [0085] The drilling rig 1302 interface can store, process and / or display information related to the use of the drill string component and physical parameters provided by the tag reader 28, manual entry, and / or other sources. The drilling rig interface 1302 can store in the drilling rig database 1312 (for example, a relationship or object-oriented database), drill column component information, for example, from the reader tags 28 or remote data center 1304.
    [0086] The drilling rig interface 1302 can transfer stored asset information to label reader 28 and / or remote data center 1304 via network 1306. For example, label reader 28 (e.g., reader portable tag generator) can retrieve identification information from tag 26 attached to a
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 30/43 / 32 drilling, and provide identification information for drilling rig interface 1302. Based on the identification information provided, drilling rig interface 1302 can transfer stored asset information (for example, physical parameters , etc.) for label reader 28, for storage and / or display.
    [0087] Remote data center 1304 is located away from platform 2 and can store information related to downhole assets, such as drill column components, that are or have been used on numerous different drilling platforms. Remote data center 1304 can store such information in remote database 1314 (for example, a relationship or object-oriented database). Thus, remote data center 1304 can store data acquired over the life of a downhole asset for assets used in a plurality of drilling equipment. For example, remote data center 1304 can store asset information for all assets provided from a given manufacturer and / or for which information is received from a 1302 drilling rig interface. As explained above, this information can be transferred to the remote data center from the 1302 drilling rig interface or other source, automatically and without operator intervention. Remote data center 1304 can provide an interface to the worldwide network allowing a user to access downhole asset information via a worldwide network browser.
    [0088] The drilling rig 1302 interface and / or the remote data center 1304 can process the asset information to determine how the asset's useful life has been affected by the stresses to which the asset has been subjected. Since the components of a drill string are subject to different levels and types of stress (for example, due to weight and / or slope), the effects on each drill string component are determined individually. Based on such determination, the use of the asset
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 31/43 / 32 (for example, the position of the asset in the drilling column 8) can be planned to optimize the useful life of the asset.
    [0089] The drilling rig interface 1302 and the remote data center 1304 can be implemented using one or more computers, as are known in the art. For example, desktop computers, notebook computers, server computers, etc., can be used. These computers generally include one or more processors, a display device, and an input device, a storage device, input / output devices, etc. Databases 1312, 1314 can be local or remote databases, as known in the art (for example, relationships, object oriented, etc.) from the drilling rig interface 1302 or the remote data center 1304.
    [0090] Figure 14 shows a flow diagram of a method for processing information related to an asset in the well, according to various embodiments. Although represented sequentially for convenience, at least some of the actions shown can be performed in a different order and / or performed in parallel. Additionally, some embodiments may perform only a few of the actions shown. In some embodiments, the operations in Figure 14 can be implemented as one or more computers executing instructions stored in a computer-readable medium.
    [0091] In block 1402, a measuring instrument 1212 acquires and transmits information related to physical parameters of the downhole asset (for example, dimensional information) to a local installation on platform 2, such as the drilling rig interface 1302 The downhole asset can be, for example, a drill pipe 18. In some embodiments, information is initially transmitted to
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 32/43 / 32 a label reader 28, and then transmitted from the label reader 28 to the local installation. The local facility can store, process and / or display the information.
    [0092] In block 1404, a tag reader 28 retrieves usage information (for example, acceleration summaries) and / or borehole information (for example, pressure temperature, etc.) from a posted label 26 to a rock bottom asset. The label reader 28 can be portable, mounted on the platform 2, or inside the perforation column 8. The label reader 28 transmits the information to the local installation. The local facility can store, process and / or display the information.
    [0093] In block 1406, the local facility can transmit downhole and physical asset usage information and / or bore information to a remote data center 1304. Remote data center 1304 can include a database for storing asset information.
    [0094] In block 1408, remote data center 1304 and / or the local facility can analyze information regarding a given downhole asset and determine the condition of the asset. The analysis can consider the usage information retrieved from tag 26, such as the determined usage time, rotation information, inclination information, acceleration information, voltages, pressure and temperature to which the asset has been exposed. The analysis can also consider measurement information, such as changes in the diameter of the asset and / or thread condition.
    [0095] In block 1410, remote data center 1304 can transmit cumulative information regarding a downhole asset to the drilling rig interface 1302. The drilling rig interface 1302 can transmit cumulative information regarding a downhole asset to a portable tag reader 28.
    [0096] In block 1412, cumulative downhole asset information, or a subset of cumulative information (for example,
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 33/43 / 32 information related to the use of an active data for a prescribed period of time) is displayed. The display can be provided, for example, via a worldwide web interface executed by a worldwide web browser or a portable tag reader display 28.
    [0097] In block 1414, the use of the asset is planned based on the cumulative asset information. By acquiring specific information for each downhole asset, instead of just general information for drilling column 8, singular stresses for each asset can be identified, and using the knowledge of different stresses encountered by each asset, the useful life of each asset can be maximized.
    [0098] Figure 15 shows a display 1500 of information related to a downhole asset incorporated in a drilling column 8 according to various embodiments. In some embodiments, the drilling rig interface 1302 is configured to provide the display 1500. The display 1500 includes a representation 1508 of the borehole 16 and / or the drill column 8. A portion 1502 of the drill column 8 can be selected for further enlarged display 1504. A given component 1506 of portion 1504 of drill column 8 can be further selected. Information specific to the selected component 1506 is still displayed 1510.
    [0099] Buttons 1512-1518 allow an operator to control the type of information on the 1510 display. For example, button 1512 can provide the display of dimensional asset information (measurement or specification), button 1514 can provide the display of information of operating time for selected asset 1506, button 1516 can provide the display of graphs related to operating parameters of asset 1506 (eg acceleration, temperature, etc.), and button 1518 can provide display of asset information 1506 of property.
    [00100] Figure 16 shows a 1600 display of usage information for
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 34/43 / 32 a rock bottom asset, according to various embodiments. The downhole asset can be a given component of the drill column 8, such as a drill pipe 18. In some embodiments, each line 1618 of the display 1600 is indicative of a single excursion. The relevant time period for display 1600 is shown in the 1602 field. The speed and torque distributions experienced by the asset are shown in the form of a histogram in fields 1604 and 1606, respectively.
    [00101] Cumulative fatigue, displayed in field 1508, can be switched based on the path of the asset in the borehole 16, torque and speed applied to the asset, the weight on the drill bit 14 and the penetration rate. At least some of the information used to provide displays 1604-1608 can be provided from the usage information retrieved from the label 26 affixed to the asset.
    [00102] Cumulative asset rotations are displayed in field 1608. Perforation hours per rotation for asset are displayed in field 1612. Slip drilling hours are displayed in field 1614. Tour hours for asset are displayed in field 1616.
    [00103] Figure 17A shows an additional embodiment of a 1700 system to provide time-of-use information for a downhole tool. The 1700 system includes a downhole tool 1702 and a protective screw cap 1704 threadedly attached to tool 1702. The downhole tool 1702 can be a drill pipe 18, drill bit 14, a drill set component bottom hole (for example, a necklace, tool, connector, etc.), a drill string component 8, or any component that incorporates a thread form specified by the American Petroleum Institute. The threads of the tools and components mentioned above are protected from damage by thread protectors, such as the cap 1704, when not in use.
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 35/43 / 32 [00104] The protective thread cap 1704 includes threads for coupling with the tool 1702, and also includes an antenna 1710, a battery 1708, and a tag 1706. Tag 1706 can be tag 26 described above ( see Fig. 4), or equivalent, where battery 1708 serves as battery 422 to supply power to label 1706, and sensors 406 includes antenna 1710. Label 1706 is configured to determine whether cover 1704 is attached to the tool 1702. When label 26 detects that cap 1704 is attached to tool 1702, label 1706 considers that the tool is not in use. When tag 26 detects that cap 1704 is not attached to tool 1702, tag 1706 considers the tool in use and records time values indicative of time of use, in store 404. For example, when tag 1706 detects that the cap 1704 has been removed from tool 1702, the tag can record a start time for use. Subsequently, when tag 1706 detects that cap 1704 has been re-installed on tool 1702, tag 1706 can record an end time of use or duration of use value. The 1706 tag can record multiple-use interval values when the cover 1704 is removed and reinstalled on the tool 1702 any number of times during an extension interval. The 1706 tag is configured to wirelessly communicate the recorded usage time values to a tag reader 28. as disclosed herein. The usage time values can be transferred from the tag reader 28 to a system (for example, a database), which monitors the use of the tool.
    [00105] The 1710 antenna can be a loop antenna, which together with the other components of the 1706 tag (oscillators, filters, amplifiers, frequency detectors, etc.), forms a proximity detector. The proximity detector is configured to detect metal (for example, the thread form of the 1702 tool) arranged close to the 1710 antenna. The 1706 tag is configured to identify the proximity of the
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 36/43 / 32 tool 1702 via a detection signature included on tag 1706. For example, the proximity detector on tag 1706 can produce a frequency within a predetermined range, when cap 1704 is threaded on tool 1702, and the tag 1706 can be configured to detect oscillation within this range, thereby detecting whether cap 1704 is threaded on tool 1702.
    [00106] Figures 17A-C show an embodiment of the cap 1704 configured to mate with the threads of a pin end of the tool 1702. Other embodiments of the cap 1704 are configured to mate with the threads of the box end of the tool 1702.
    [00107] In an exemplary method of using the tracking tool, cover 1704 is threadedly coupled with tool 1702, in an installation from which tool 1702 is distributed (for example, a tool rental installation). Before the tool leaves the installation for use, any time-of-use values stored on the 1706 tag are cleared. The tag reader 28 can be used to erase the usage time values by commands transmitted wirelessly from tag reader 28 to tag 1706. As the tool is used in the field, tag 1706 records the tool usage based on detection of cover removal 1704 and re-attachment to tool 1702, as explained above. When the cap 1704, together with the tool 1702, returns to the installation, the tag reader 28 wirelessly extracts the stored usage time values from the 1706 tag. The extracted values can be stored in a tracking system. tool usage that, for example, monitors tool life, in terms of time used.
    [00108] The above discussion is intended to be illustrative of various embodiments of the present invention. Numerous variations and modifications
    Petition 870190077024, of 08/09/2019, p. 37/43 / 32 will be evident to those skilled in the art since the above description is fully appreciated. The following claims are intended to be interpreted as covering all such variations and modifications.
